SC2 is fine. There will be a huge increase in players after HoTs is released. It is irrelevant that an easy, free to play game has more players. People are cheap and have short attention spans. They will move on to Angry Birds 21 or Farmville 10 or something awful like that soon enough anyway. It's like how the Wii outsold the Xbox 360 and Ps3 combined for many years. Grandma likes Wii sports more than Halo I guess :p

Well i'ts basicly just destiny fanboys making up new evidence to support destiny. MLG proved this weekend that SC2 is still going strong. And with the HotS-beta finally making some progress sc2 just going to get bigger.

Should lock this thread now, after MLG proving that the numbers are still there.
HotS will make it even bigger, there is no denying on that.

Man, @ the end of the thread (say the last 15 pages or so) there's a massive surge in low count posters claiming that the thread should be locked, that the game is FINE, that nothing's a matter.

Misery does indeed love company, which is why all of you are here....Why we're all here...

After MLG I'm of the opinion that SCII is still dying off, as is the natural progression with any modern game's audience....and I'm hoping that HOTS can make a lot of good changes and bring in some new blood.

We'll wait...and we'll see...

to be fair, destiny never said sc2 was dead right now, He said it will be dead before legacy of the void. Which is about 2 to 3 years from now.

I dont think i agree fully with that, but there is a little side of me saying, We arent growing, We are just stagnating, And if we are stagnating it means numbers will fall with time. Destinys main point is that only blizzard can grow the player base . And he is right about that. So i not sure why he is getting hate. Obviously his posts are a little bit exaggerated, but there is some truth to it. Even if his doom post didnt cause any differences in starcraft 2 right now from a blizzard approach. At-least blizzard is now aware of the fact that the community can go full apeshit if stuff is not up to standard.

( of which even with the newest hots patch, it still isnt)

-the reward system still sucks and is meaningless to play for ( static portraits) .Instead we need to see new unit skins/cosmetic stuff like thor collector edition without needing collectors edition /alternate models/new battlenet backgrounds/Animated portraits.

-Custom game issues with popularity system still there ( try playing maps that arent top 10) you will wait for hours cause the system does not promote new maps. It basically a system of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Map maker movitation lost= no new maps. No new maps = a casual player base tired of playing the same maps over and over so they quit for a different game. ( newest gta 5! for e.g)

-Team games still matching up AT vs RT and Partial arrange teams vs RT. Very abusive

-The chat is still within these mini box'es. I dunno why blizzard dont get this but it makes stuff feel anti social . The chat room needs to be the background.

-Clans dont feel like clans anymore, they feel like name tags. You could literally create a clan with 1 person. And you cant browse any clan profile that you are not directly a part of.

-no in-game spectating of friends while playing ladder


etc etc etc

I only watched MLG to watch flash. From what I saw I won't be watching or playing HOTS the game just isn't as fun to watch or play as it used to be. zerg =))))))))

tss, that's very elitist for a middle count poster.

I hope I would be qualified as high count poster :D

but seriously though, the amount of discussion is kind of repeating itself with little amount of facts to really have a solid discussion.

Some claim stream viewership number is going down across all pro gamers and tournaments
some claim it is just that we have more tournaments and streams to watch and so they are more spread out.

my opinion is that there is less viewers in total. And we shouldn't be too alarmed due to the fact that the not everyone is so into SC2, some eventually will have their passion die off.

I do agree with Destiny, I think I have posted once before in this thread but I can't remember.
Personally I have never even been into bw but as a general gamer, the game just lacks some kind of interaction with other players.
I sometimes even miss that huge amount of flaming and raging in MOBA, at least I am communicating with players and I have made quite a lot of friends through raging and winning some epic dota games.

Not sure about how it should be like in RTS but I reckon something could be done to encourage players talking to eachother, not just glhf or mass trolling messages full of "fff OPOPOP you trash" etc but maybe something after the game where players can leave comments onto the game (or even certain point of the game) and the other can read

I will seriously bet you $10,000 right now that the very first game played is going to be a baneling bust followed by "get siege tanks u noob"

It is dead to me, as I have no plans to play it ever again. I stopped watching day9 a while ago, I only check a couple of gsl matches that interest me and I missed MLG Dallas. It was all different a year ago, where I would watch and play at least couple of hours every day.

But I do enjoy that Toss are getting demolished ATM vs zerg. I really like that.

Halo 4 and MoP just came out, and SC2 is more than two years old... What kind of troll are you? A bad one I guess. Your picture proves absolutely nothing.

starcraft isn't dead, but the way this community acts, i wouldn't mind a downsizing at all.

im guessing most people havent been in many gaming communities before. I have fond memories playing games with 1/100th of player bases. the smaller communities were always better.. less trolls, less whiners. the problem with this thread is the ridiculousness of calling a game dead because it has X players. Really, theres nothing wrong with smaller numbers. i welcome it. This is just destiny crying that he cant play video games and act like an idiot on his webcam for money anymore.
Wanna know what kills this game? shit like this. oh and tweeting your dick. my .02

How is this even relevant? Twitch numbers are not an indication if a game is "dead" or not. Those numbers are changed simply by a few players.

If Destiny wants to quit StarCraft 2 for League of Legends - good for him. I really don't think he's quitting because "StarCraft 2 is dying." He wants you to think that, though.
